Actually, there are four kinds of reptile motion:
Concertina - vermiform. Circular muscles around the snake squeeze the front of the snake's body out long, then the latter half is pulled forward.
Rectilinear crawling - Belly scutes are moved forward individually in a wave-like motion.
Side-winding - Snake's version of "walking". Use by several species to move over fluidic substrates, such as sand.
Lateral undulation - Most common form of movement. Snake presses on alternating pressure points to force body forward (or backward)

Answer:
It means the chemical entity is a radical
Explanation:
When we talk of unsaturation, we are referring to the number of pi-bonds in a chemical entity. The alkane, alkene and alkyne organic family are used to as common examples to explain the term unsaturation.
While alkynes have 3 bonds, it must be understood that they have 2 pi bonds only and as such their degree of saturation is two.
In the case of an alkene, there is only one single pi bond and as such the degree of unsaturation is 1.
Now in this case, we have a fractional 0.5 degree of unsaturation alongside the 3 to make a total of 3.5. So what’s the issue here?
The fractional part shows that the chemical entity we are dealing with here is a radical. While the integer 3 shows that there are 3 pi-bonds, the half pi bond remaining tells us that there is a missing electron on one of the atoms involved in the chemical bonding and as such, the 1/2 extra degree of unsaturation tends to tell us this.
Kindly recall that a radical is a chemical entity within which we have at the least an unpaired electron.
The equation is already balanced.
The answer is B
If one circuit fails, it is most likely that all the components in the circuit will fail.
Answer:
Theoretical yield of the reaction = 34 g
Excess reactant is hydrogen
Limiting reactant is nitrogen
Explanation:
Given there is 100 g of nitrogen and 100 g of hydrogen
Number of moles of nitrogen = 100 ÷ 28 = 3·57
Number of moles of hydrogen = 100 ÷ 2 = 50
Reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen yields ammonia according to the following chemical equation
N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
From the above chemical equation for every mole of nitrogen that reacts, 3 moles of hydrogen will be required and 2 moles of ammonia will be formed
Now we have 3·57 moles of nitrogen and therefore we require 3 × 3·57 moles of hydrogen
⇒ We require 10·71 moles of hydrogen
But we have 50 moles of hydrogen
∴ Limiting reactant is nitrogen and excess reactant is hydrogen
From the balanced chemical equation the yield will be 2 × 3·57 moles of ammonia
Molecular weight of ammonia = 17 g
∴ Theoretical yield of the reaction = 2 × 3·57 × 17 = 121·38 g
